Some times, particularly in moist or humid conditions, the lamp surface may be slightly damp to the touch, lighting it for a few a few hours dries it very quickly, if crystallization occur, just wiping with a damp cloth will get rid of it.

2) Turn the lamp over so that you can see the underside of the base
3) Carefully remove the two screws that are deeply embedded in the bottom of the wooden base (not the screws on the metallic strip).
4) Remove the base from the salt crystal.
5) Unscrew the used bulb and dispose of carefully, screw in your new 25W bulb.
6) Reserve the process 4 to 1 and enjoy.

How to change candle and light rock salt lamp?

Initially, lighting the tea light salt crystal lamps may take a couple of attempts. There’s a “trick” to lighting the tea light and dropping it into the hole without extinguishing it.

The easy way is to use extra long matches or a “long nosed” BBQ gas lighter, but a more “fun” way is to learn to hold on to the lit candle about partway down the hole before releasing it gently. Using 8-houre tea light candle solves the problem easily, as the candle has a shorter distance to fall into the hole.

Removing the used candle is very easy. Use your finger, or sticks a pen through the opening at the bottom, made for this purpose. After attempting several times you will be an expert in lighting the tea light lamp!

Due to the heavy, solid, nature of the Salt Crystal Tea-Light Candle holders they are very stable and unlikely to be affected by wind.

Commonsense and care should be taken when small children and /or pets are in the vicinity of any flame.

Be ware that hot liquate-wax can splash out onto clothes, furnishings or skin if the lamp is moved whilst candle is burning or within a short period of time after it is extinguished.
